Nitrates are a class of vasodilating cardiovascular agents that include organic nitrate esters such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, and isosorbide mononitrate.
They exert their therapeutic effects by undergoing denitration to release nitric oxide, which stimulates intracellular soluble guanylyl cyclase, increases cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), and triggers vascular smooth muscle relaxation.
This activity primarily causes systemic venodilation to decrease cardiac preload, alongside modest arteriolar and coronary artery dilation, thereby reducing myocardial wall stress and oxygen demand.
Nitrates are predominantly indicated for the acute relief and long-term prophylactic management of angina pectoris, as well as adjunctive therapy in acute coronary syndromes and heart failure.
